After a successful maiden VMSL campaign, The Men In Green will be making their debut in yet another league which highlights the progress made and aspirations the club has going forward. The Multicultural Soccer League is the Summer competition The Greencaps will be competing in, starting in Division 1. With a number of league applications and only 3 new teams being accepted with 2 of those being taken by VMSL Prem team SC Croatia and VMSL Div 1 AC Campobasso, The Men In Green are clearly held in high regard to be awarded the final available slot. With the outgoing duo of stylish winger, Conor Doyle and Dan ‘The Animal’ Kelly as well as part timers Jamie ‘The Daddy’ Lewis and door to door salesman Gary Mulvaney, Player-Manager Buckley looked to take advantage of the free transfer market and made his move in the past few weeks to bring in new faces. After the majority of the club’s transfer budget was used in bringing Frenchman Brunet back to the club earlier in the year, Buckley was priced out of moves for a number of big names such as Lee Trundle but looks to have done some wheeling and dealing in the free transfer market and done some deals for some real gems. After squeezing his feet in boots 2 sizes too small for him, very tall Jack Perry impressed enough to be offered a contract and will look to provide competition for central defensive duo O’Connor and Keane. At left back in comes Frenchman, Simon Le Bot, who in circumstances similar to how Stewart Downing gets in the England squad so regularly, was offered a contract purely on the back of the fact that he is left footed. Fortunately he also provides a cool head and some all round tidy typical French flair play from the back, quite the contrast to former Greencap left back, Dan Kelly, who was more like a dog who’s finally been let off the lead and is intent on chasing sticks and squirrels all over the place without any concern for potential injury. In midfield comes dreadlocked Ray Mears fan, Brad Haga. Straight from the land of the free and not believing in things such as Facebook or mobile phones, preferring to keep it simple, he also looks to employ the same mantra on the field, combining simple play with hard work and determination. His experience of playing in the VMSL premier division will definitely mean he is a welcome addition to the midfield. Finally the last signing Buckley scrambled to make before deadline day comes in the form of Paddy Smyth, brother of current goalkeeper and bow man, Matt Smyth. The 2 will be looking to form a brotherly combination to rival the great Neville brothers on the field however in pre-season it’s been more like the Chuckle Brothers so far. Fans will be hoping that Smyth junior will provide some extra firepower at the top of the pitch and take some of the goal scoring burden off last season’s top scorer and the man who even shits goals on the toilet, Steve Glitz. All 4 new signings made an appearance at a press conference yesterday and were introduced to the media whilst answering some questions about their moves to the club. Le Bot initially looked confused and through broken English eventually revealed that he believed himself to be in Newcastle and was unsure as to what was going on. Smyth however had words of praise for current playing staff saying ‘I’ve heard great things about Barry Houlihan, he gets on the ball and plays it simple like a white Makelele. Greg Cowie too is brilliant at what he does, he’s shagged at least half of my University class mates already since I joined the club last week!’. The press conference was concluded with the foursome signing autographs for fans outside the stadium with Le Bot still looking confused as to where he actually was and what club he was at whilst eventually being forced into the back of a waiting car and driven away. The Greencaps start their campaign against the entire African continent in the form of Africa United at Burnaby Lake Stadium on Sunday at 7pm. With Buckley’s scouting network only being able to inform him that ‘they appear to be African’, very little is known about them but that the team are preparing for a physical, fast paced season in a league that has seen a few brawls in years gone by, something Brian ‘The Enforcer’ McGuirk is relishing saying recently in an interview: 'I cant wait to get back doing what I do best and to plant these bad boys firmly into the chest of some unsuspecting c*nt!' The award of Top Goal Scorer in the Division has lead pundits to speculate who will pass the least out of Mexican Hitman, Oscar Salvador and star forward Glitz as the two will be intent on landing the prize and etching their name in the MSA history books, looking to beat a total of 28 that holds the current record. With the clubs crest now upon their shirts, the Men In Green will be looking to stamp their authority on the Division from the off and announce their arrival with an impressive victory on Sunday.
